    Hi,

    I was wondering whether it is worth getting an earthing kit for the new Lancer? Mitsubishi offers one as an official dealer fitted accessory. I tried reading up about it and you get a lot of conflicting answers as to whether it is worth it or not.

    I am getting a VRX/GTS with the Rockford system and was thinking maybe it might need the kit. I think the fact Mitsubishi is selling them for the new Lancer may mean that it will make a difference, but I just want to be sure. Now if only they would sell other minor performance mods as accessories that would be great because it won't affect your warranty.

    basically it stabilizes electricity on the car and grounds it better

    the apexi website explains it better then i do

    In Canada Mitsu calls it the hyper grounding kit its basically i think 5 to 7 thick wires i cant remember the grade or count. But by placeing them on various places in the engine it supposed to increase HP milage and tourqe by providing a more stable power transfer. I was looking up on it too but i was just trying to get my bloody radio from phasing out at certain parts through the city. But they do come in a varity of colors blue red and gold. :)

    boo, lol Thanks anyways.

    I think our car def needs a grounding kit. My radio gets interference when i lower my window or if i give to much gas when i have the radio at full blast. I have a fully loaded gts btw

    Grounding kits are always debateable. I have never came across a "street" car that NEEDED it.
